The star shortstop, who is recovering from a Grade 1 (least severe) strain of his left hamstring, is tentatively scheduled to test his legs on the bases tomorrow. If all goes well, a decision could be reached on Monday if Reyes is ready to be activated from the disabled list. Reyes is eligible to be removed from the disabled list on Monday.

Reyes yesterday ran in a straight line for the third straight day. He is scheduled to repeat the process today.

“It’s been good. The last five days it’s been very good,” Reyes said before the Mets’ 7-2 loss to the Phillies last night. “Hopefully it can continue to feel like that.”

General manager Sandy Alderson previously said Reyes’ recovery time likely would be closer to three weeks than two, putting the Mets on a timetable for maybe next weekend. But manager Terry Collins said one possibility is Reyes playing a rehab game for Single-A Brooklyn on Monday and then perhaps rejoining the Mets.

“I know Brooklyn is in town for one night, but I don’t necessarily want him to get drilled in Brooklyn,” Collins said. “If he’s going to get drilled, I prefer it to be here. I don’t know how we’re going to approach it. I know he’s close.”

Francisco Rodriguez reportedly reached agreement with the Brewers on a $500,000 buyout of his vesting option for 2012. Rodriguez previously would have triggered a $17.5 million option if he finished 55 games this season. The buyout potentially clears the way for the Brewers to use Rodriguez as their closer. With the vesting option removed, Rodriguez will become a free agent after the season.

David Wright played his first rehab game for Single-A St. Lucie and went 1-for-2 with a double and walk against Lakeland. Wright played five innings at third base in his first game action since May 15. Wright, who is recovering from a stress fracture in his lower back, is expected to play about a week of rehab games before rejoining the Mets.

Collins was expecting a new and improved Ryota Igarashi, whom the Mets added to the roster before last night’s game. Igarashi posted a 0.87 ERA and five saves in 21 appearances at Triple-A Buffalo. But when he was summoned last night in the eighth inning with the bases loaded and the Mets down 4-1, Igarashi allowed a bases-clearing double to John Mayberry Jr.
